OUROBOROS
Curated by: 
Katherine Morgan Krause, Editor of Dossier Journal
Jenny Salomon
2nd Sat Reception: 
Saturday, November 9, 2013 - 7:00pm to 10:00pm
Exhibition Dates: 
Nov 6, 2013 to Nov 23, 2013
Gallery Hours (or by appointment): 
Wednesday-Saturday, 2-6pm

The ancient symbol of Ouroboros, the snake eating its tail, appears in many cultures, religions, and belief systems from Ancient Egypt, Jungian philosophy, and alchemy to androgyny, mythology, and modern science. It has referenced rebirth, creation out of destruction, self-discovery, life out of death, the eternal, the joining of opposites, devouring oneself, the shadow self, immortality, and infinity.

This exhibition excavates the understanding of Ouroboros from its historical references and explores its meaning today. The curators are interested in using this symbol as a key to gather work that expresses one of these two outlooks: the eternal vs. the end.
